Battle of the Books 2016

 Goldie and Josiah were together as part of Mercer School's Battle of the Books team this year. They read six books and scored among the highest of those that took the test. Then, because Goldie was a fifth grader she was responsible to learn two book and Josiah, as a third grader, was responsible for one. They read their books again and tried to figure out what could be asked during the contest by attending weekly practices. The team went further than it ever had before.

The team also included two sets of brothers and sisters.
